AI Fears Trigger Dell AMD CoreWeave Selloff

Read, Watch or Listen

Investors reacted sharply to rising concerns about artificial intelligence, sending Dell Technologies, AMD, and CoreWeave shares sharply lower. The market’s anxiety stemmed from a recent downgrade by Barclays, which cut Dell’s target price and flagged uncertainty over enterprise‑AI timing. The selloff echoed earlier losses in the sector, where Nvidia and Alphabet had already slipped for a second day. Analysts note that the volatility reflects broader worries that AI could reshape software spending and chip demand, potentially widening the gap between industry leaders and smaller firms. As the market digests these developments, traders are watching for signs of a rebound or further decline in AI‑linked equities.
